“It was a whole new world. There is nothing better than Dr. Jepsen. Definitely changed my life for the better. I can smile now.”
I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, 60 miles from the nearest town. That means that health care and dental care were very far away. In the meantime, my teeth were deteriorating. I went to the problems with dentures. All this time, the bone was eroding at my upper mouth.
I remember my grandmother struggling with eating certain things, and that would also factor into where we would go to eat.
So when I first met Marilyn, she was a referral from her dentist. She was left with a lot of restorations that were beginning to falter on her. Here at Oral Surgery Specialists of Idaho, we had the perfect solution for Marilyn. We were able to reconstruct the bone in her jaw and place dental implants, which provided the foundation for a full arch of teeth.
I love now that my grandma can eat the things that she loves.
There was nothing I couldn’t eat, nothing I couldn’t enjoy. It was a whole new world. There is nothing better than Dr. Jepsen. Definitely changed my life for the better. I can smile now.

The Value of Receiving a Full-Arch Restoration
A complete and healthy smile is essential for eating and speaking properly. Your smile also greatly impacts your confidence, and by transforming your smile through full-arch restoration, you will achieve a fully functioning and beautiful smile that you can feel proud of. With dental implants supporting a fixed prosthesis, you can enjoy your favorite foods comfortably and brush your teeth while they stay in place at all times. The implants that support the prosthesis provide stimulation to the jaw bone. This prevents bone loss associated with missing teeth and protects your oral health.
Our team uses state-of-the-art technology and offers bone grafting treatments to help restore the jaw where bone loss has occurred, helping more patients qualify for implant placement.

The Value of Full-Arch Restoration
Losing a full arch of teeth can severely impact quality of life, impacting everything from your ability to chew, speak, or smile with confidence. Dentures can slip, feel uncomfortable, or look unnatural. While traditional dentures may be the most well-known option for comprehensive tooth loss, it’s not the ideal solution. Enter a surgically implanted full-arch restoration. Using a set of dental implants, a full-arch restoration is a permanent and comfortable solution to severe tooth loss, giving patients back full functionality and restoring aesthetics.
For years, Drs. Baker and Jensen have restored countless smiles using full-arch restoration to improve their patients’ quality of life. Because full-arch restoration sits on dental implants, the titanium posts act as tooth roots, stimulating the jaw bone to retain facial structure. The prosthesis is designed to fit your mouth and looks completely natural.
During your initial consultation, our oral surgeons will perform a comprehensive assessment of your mouth, take scans, and discuss treatment options, including full-arch restorations. If you have any questions or concerns about the surgical procedure, they will be happy to provide answers and insight to ensure you feel well-educated and prepared before making any decisions. Should you choose to proceed with the full-arch restoration procedure, we will provide pre and post-op instructions to follow to ensure an optimal outcome.
Full-arch restoration is the ideal solution for patients who are missing most of or all of their teeth in one or both arches. At Oral Surgery Specialists, we are delighted to provide this life-changing service to bring brand-new smiles to patients in Pocatello, ID and the surrounding communities.
What Are The Benefits of Full-Arch Restoration?
Full-arch restoration can transform a patient’s life, enabling them to eat, speak, and smile with a newfound confidence. It offers an array of other benefits making it a worthwhile investment into your oral health.
- Easy care: Full-arch restoration doesn’t require an extensive amount of maintenance or complicated cleaning. You take care of your full-arch restoration the same way you would with natural teeth. Simply, brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly to ensure your shiny new smile is healthy for the long run.
- Improved oral hygiene: Because it is secured by surgically implanted dental implants, full-arch restoration stimulates the jaw bone, preventing atrophy and preserving facial structure to avoid future complications.
- Enhanced functionality: Life without an entire arch of teeth prevents many challenges that prevent you from enjoying things like your favorite foods or smiling or pictures with confidence. Full-arch restoration enables you to bite firmly into whatever you’d like and show off your healthy smile. Unlike removable dentures which can slip or be uncomfortable, full-arch restoration gives you all of the benefits and function of natural teeth.
- Long-lasting and permanent: Traditional dentures need to be replaced every few years to maintain a certain level of functionality and aesthetics. Because the supporting dental implants fuse with the jawbone, they provide a secure and permanent base for your prosthesis.
The Full-Arch Restoration Procedure
Before your procedure, you will meet one of our oral surgeons at a consultation appointment where he will perform an exam to assess your oral health, any damaged teeth, and bone health. If you don’t have extensive bone loss, you are an excellent candidate for dental implant surgery which is performed before receiving your permanent prosthesis. If you have substantial bone loss, you will need bone grafting to create a strong and secure base for dental implant placement. During your consultation, your doctor will create a custom treatment plan and discuss which form of anesthesia will be administered during your surgery.
The first part of the surgery involves having a set of dental implants placed. After a careful incision into the gum tissue, your oral surgeon will place a titanium screw into your jawbone. These screws will act as natural teeth roots to stimulate the jaw bone. Once the implants are placed, you will receive a temporary prosthetic so you can continue eating as normal.
During this healing period, the implants fuse with the jaw bone in a process known as osseointegration. Once the period of healing is complete, you will return to the office to receive your actual restoration to treat complete tooth loss. This set of artificial teeth will look natural and the result is a beautiful smile of replacement teeth that will greatly improve your quality of life.
If you are experiencing major tooth loss and want to restore oral function, consider the revolutionary treatment that can restore a dental arch of permanent teeth: full-arch restoration. The team at Oral Surgery Specialists of Idaho is here to help guide you on your journey toward a permanent solution that will greatly enhance your quality of life.
